What was his GPA if the letter grades are based on a 4 point scale?

Question

He took the following classes: a 2 hour credit art, a 3 hour credit history, a 4 hour credit science course, a 3 hour credit mathematics course, and a 1 hour science lab. He received a “B” in the art class, an “A” in the history class, a “C” in the science class, a “B” in the mathematics class, and an “A” in the science lab. What was his GPA if the letter grades are based on a 4 point scale? (A=4, B=3, C=2, D=1, F=0)

Answer 1

He should have an even 3.0 according to my calculations.

Oh, he had a 2 hour art class and he got a B which is 3 points.  You take the credits and multiply by the points.

2 cred art B=3

2(3) = 6

3 cred math B=3

3(3) = 9

1 cred sci lab A=4

4(1) = 4

3 cred. history A = 4

4(3) = 12

4 cred. sci C = 2

4(2) = 8

You add up all the numbers and divide by the total credits.

6 + 9 + 4 + 12 + 8 = 39

Divide by the number of credits.

2 + 3 + 1 + 3 + 4 = 13

39/13 = 3.0

Answer 2

about a 3.5

Answer 3

You take the credit hours times the points per grade for each class, add them up, and then divide by the total credit hours

(2*3) + (3*4) + (4*2) + (3*3) + (1*4) divided by (2+3+4+3+1)

=6+12+8+9+4 divided by 13

=39/3

=3.0

Answer 4

3+4+2+3+4= 16/5 = 3.2
